I cannot explain our frustration in dealing with this. I see that the five-house Rocksprings estate was included in the council's application for funding under the multi-annual developer-provided water services infrastructure programme in September 2019. The estimated cost for the completion of works by the county council was €53,000. It is a pittance compared with other costs that might arise. The problem could be resolved for such a small amount of money and everything could be finished.

Mr. Coskeran seems to be attracting a lot of blame to himself. The blame lies with county councils, the Department and Irish Water. Like I said before, it is easy for us as public representatives to say what we are saying to Mr. Coskeran, but it is he, his family and the other families who are dealing with the matter daily. The blame should be laid where Mr. Coskeran and we know it should be laid. I refer to those who made an agreement with Mr. Coskeran and did not honour it.
